What is the Modern Strategic Planning Frameworks course about?
Public-sector programs often rely on rigid, outdated planning models that can't adapt to shifting policy landscapes, community needs, or technological changes. This leads to misaligned initiatives, wasted resources, and eroded public trust. Practitioners are expected to deliver impact but lack access to modern, tested frameworks that integrate data, stakeholder engagement, and iterative design.
